The Italian Job

Episode 5 of 6

Documentary series following life in a Bolton scrapyard. At a car shredder factory, it's love at first sight for Terry but Lyndsay's not convinced.

It's date night, and the Walkers plan a shopping trip to Italy to look at a car shredder, an expensive machine that could turn their fortunes around.

Terry tells sales manager Lee the target while he's away is four grand a day, but things unravel on the first morning. Half the lads don't turn up, there are no customers and everyone mucks about. Nobody listens to Lee, and his own little brother Dean is one of the worst. Lee only does a grand and dreads telling Terry.

At the shredder factory, it's love at first sight for Terry as he wants to sell his house to buy the half-a-million-pound shredder. Lyndsay's not convinced.

When Terry calls the yard, the news about low takings knocks his good mood. Next day, Lee doesn't turn up for work. A tearful Gemma discovers he's gone to hospital with chest pains. Lee's had a hernia, exacerbated by stress.
